# MyCountdown vs Days

The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against MyCountdown's 3.3. Days also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (12K vs 4). MyCountdown's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MyCountdown sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of MyCountdown's written reviews are positive against 74% of Days's.

MyCountdown ships an update every 6 weeks, Days every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
